Well after a few weeks with the stage 1 tune I took the car back down to Surgeline for them to install and test the COBB SF Intake system. While the car was in there I decided I might as well also have them install their down pipe and go stage 2...

Awesome numbers with the stock exhaust on too and only 18psi, get the catback and maybe a EBCS go to 20psi... but dont let the mod bug get you this early

The dual restrictor pill setup on the factory BCS on the 08+ STI and 09+ WRX works really fantastic. A 3-port with the stock turbo on those cars can actually degrade "boost performance" a bit. There's still lots of room to turn it up on the factory solenoid setup with this car should he decide to do so

Doesn't matter how high the dyno reads lol. It's the comparison that matters between stock and stage 1 or 2. Any ways nice car man and nice numbers. I can't wait to go stage 2. I have my downpipe just sitting in my room haha

Ya I hear that dyno reads a little high... I'm just excited about the gains from each step up from stock to stage 1 to stage 2. Sounds like Lance thinks he can get some more out of it still :-) So when the exhaust goes on I will probably feel a little more comfortable about pushing it a little more.

I have a 2012 sti 4 door, stage one accessport tune, and the dyno gain was
+30 hp and +40 tq, I thought they were really high. And yeah i plan on going stage 2 really soon i just want to put some more miles on it.

Nice! Pretty much same gains as mine. How many miles on yours? I just rolled over 2k.

Agreed you can read up on John's (Akuma) Dyno it is calibrated prior to every time I went in. There is a post where a guy made almost 50 WHP less than a different dyno just a few hours prior to running on Johns (Akuma) Dyno. STImikey knows all about the super low reading dyno, but to me it is the comparison of before and after under the curve that I am concerned about. I know the car is fast and tuned correctly. I think EFI also agreed with me in one post and said they would run my car on their dyno for free to do a comparison, never got around to it.

You dont have to justify this, it is a true heart breaker. I tuned a car with John on this dyno. We were expecting 400 and made 340, hahaha. 300 on this dyno is a force to be reckon'ed with for sure.

This dyno doesn't appear to read low at all. The above numbers seems pretty high to me for a stock 2012 but then you are at sea level (and it's cooler outside) and i'm not sure how they have their dyno calibrated/correction. But regardless of all of that, the gains under the curve are great to see.

I think you might be looking at the "S" numbers vs. "S#"... Not sure what I have miss quoted. Thanks!

Ya it's been great!! The guys at Surgeline are the best! My bro is over in Bend too (Kris, WRB STi with wrx wing, custom scoopless hood, might have seen him around) and needs to bring his car over for a couple days of tuning... his has been a few years since it was tuned last.

Well done on the tune, they're good guys. It's awfully nice to have them so close by, and I need to get over there for a ProTune for my '11 WRX.

Kris is going to have to upgrade to the AP V2 before Tim will re-work the tune (IIRC, it's only a $150 exchange) - apparently, the current version of AccessTuner Pro doesn't play with the V1, or at least that's what I understood. Regardless, that car was seriously quick. BTW, did he ever get the front wheel bearings replaced?

No I don't think he has replace any wheel bearings... he didn't tell me he if has. Ya he said he needed a new AP V2... thats a nice exchange for $150 if that is how it work!

I hit 860 today, yeah i put stage one on kinda early but she runs perfectly. at 3k or so im going to put a catless down pipe, cai and get it pro tuned. But my goal or finished project in my mind now (im sure it will change) is to have 400 whp +-15 whp.

O and side note Im going to school next year in syracuse

Is anyone from there? I live in miami now and just wanted to talk about the snow and salt and all that messing with the car. Miami doesnt see much of that, it would be great if someone would let me know.
